Chapter IX Assessment (2)

On the training ground, everyone's eyes were locked on Yi Fan. His loud statement was not only addressed to the coach, but also to everyone present. At this time, everyone wondered what kind of exam he would face, after all, Johnson was known for his strictness.

I saw Coach Johnson yelling: "Brett! Twenty, forty yards training! ”

Then, a boy with an unattractive appearance walked out of the queue. He skillfully placed an empty bottle on the twenty-yard line, and drew a circle with a diameter of one meter on the forty-yard line.

I saw Brett pick up a rugby ball and slowly walk to Yi Fan. I saw his right foot step back, his right elbow was raised high like a fort, his waist twisted like a spiral, driving the strength of his whole body, and his right arm was as straight as a long whip, and when the centrifugal force brought by the rotation reached its peak, the rugby ball in his right hand shot out.

Syllable!

In an instant, the bottle from twenty yards away toppled over.

Immediately afterwards, Brett dropped another ball towards the 40-yard line, and the ball flew in the air for a while before falling into the circle.

Yi Fan was stunned by these two shots, and he looked at the rugby ball in the distance, trying to remember what had just happened.

"The exam for you is to complete both trainings like Brett. As long as you can do one of these, you can participate in the exercises. If you can't do both, you don't want to be a quarterback. Johnson said.

After hearing this, everyone gasped, and it was too difficult to let a novice who had never been on the stage challenge this exam.

"It's unlikely, it doesn't just require arm strength, it also requires an accurate estimate of the trajectory and landing point of the ball, which is not something a first-year freshman can do!" Dean shook his head and said, fearing that his Asian roommate was going to end there.

Diana also felt that it was inappropriate, and she stepped forward and persuaded: "There will be opportunities later, there is no need to take this risk." ”

Unexpectedly, Yi Fan laughed, and he responded: "Interesting! It's the difficult things that are worth the challenge! If I can pass this exam, it will also greatly change everyone's opinion of me! I want everyone to see my determination and strength!"

Johnson didn't expect Yi Fan to accept it so big, and applauded him.

Yi Fan picked up the rugby ball from the ground, and carefully recalled every detail of Brett's action just now, including the point of power and the trajectory of the ball.

He first tried the 20-yard bottle test, but the bottle was too small for him to control the ball so accurately. I tried several times in a row and failed.

After failing a twenty-yard training session, Yi Fan's only option was to throw the ball into a forty-yard circle.

He closed his eyes, and the noise around him slowly disappeared from his mind, and the only thing he could feel was the sound of his own heartbeat and boiling blood.

His muscles were at their best in countless simulated passes, and he even started beating involuntarily.

The moment his eyes opened, his body simulated Brett's movements, only to see his right foot kick hard, his waist drove the muscles of his whole body to stretch to the left, his right hand was thrown out like a long whip, and the rugby ball in his hand flew high with the explosion of power as if it had life.

Oops! Yi Fan's heart tightened after passing the ball out, he had just been highly concentrated, and unconsciously passed the ball according to his body's instinct.

I saw that the ball spun with a strong force, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and flew straight and powerful towards the forty-yard line like a wild goose flying high.

"Maybe it can really work!" Dean muttered.

The trajectory of the ball and the choice of route are beautiful, just like Brett's shot just now. As a novice to rugby, it's not easy to do this level.

"Look!"

Just as the ball flew past the 30-yard line, the ball's flight path changed abruptly, and it suddenly slashed straight down to the left like a gyroscope. One second it was a good ball that flew well, and the next second it fell to the ground without warning.

"What's going on?"

"It's a spin problem! Haha, it won't be a direct pass! Still yelling to be a quarterback! It's a laughing death! ”

Seeing Yi Fan's failed pass, the crowd of onlookers laughed disdainfully, only Johnson watched the ball quietly, thoughtfully, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. After a long time, he said, "According to the agreement, you don't want to be a quarterback." Hone your basic skills. “

That night, Yi Fan immediately lay on the bed after returning to the dormitory, his face was full of exhaustion, his performance today was really too embarrassing, from the morning report and report, to the afternoon exam that gambled on dignity, he ended in failure.

"Hey, in the future, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to touch the ball." Yi Fan felt sorry for himself. After all, there are so many people on the team, excluding the special service group, there are only 22 regular spots in the offensive group and defensive group, and there is only one quarterback.

Dean was a little dissatisfied after listening to Yi Fan's nagging, so he stepped forward and knocked Yi Fan on the head and said, "Young man, you give up too easily." It's only the first day today, OK? You've only just stepped foot on campus, and you'll have four years to go. As long as you keep training every day, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to play? You know, like us third- and fourth-graders, we really don't have a chance. ”

Speaking of which, Dean pointed to Michael's empty bed and continued: "Michael is very good both physically and defensively. But in the last game, one of his marking errors allowed the opposing close end to easily break through the defense and run out of 45 yards in one go to win the final stunner. In this way, he lost his position in the main team and became a substitute. At this time, he estimated where to conduct additional training, special training on his marking ability, or further improve his confrontation ability. It's not terrible not to be able to play, but it's terrible that there is no way to take advantage of the opportunity after playing. ”

After listening to Dean's words, Yi Fan suddenly had a feeling of being sudden. No matter which university in the United States they are placed in, the job of first-year students is basically to further improve their physical fitness and basic skills, and they who have just graduated from high school are much worse than mature third- and fourth-year students, and it is normal that they cannot play.

The next morning, the sky was still cloudy, and a faint mist with a clammy and cold atmosphere shrouded the empty training ground. At this time, there is still an hour and a half before the official start of training.

At this time, a figure was running around the training ground, round and round.

And in the distance on the opening stage, head coaches Johnson and Diana were watching it all. Johnson said: "This is the Chinese kid you brought, and it's kind of interesting." ”

Diana replied, "I'll just say he's not going to give up easily." That's fine, give him some time to lay the groundwork. ”

"It's up to him to keep going." Johnson said thoughtfully.
